foreigner's journey

Chapter 569
It was winter, and the wind was piercing through the bones.

Two mercenary regiments with different styles occupy the east and west sides of Sisto Fortress Square. They are neither familiar nor hostile to each other, but are silently vigilant.

To the east is a group of well-equipped cavalry that looks like a regular army. They wear a uniform style of dark blue standard armor, ride tall horses wearing battle armor, and hold the best weapons in their hands. They even hold high flags. A wolf head made of seven stars.

[Sirius Constellation Mercenary Group], one of the best mercenary groups on this continent, their wolf cavalry makes all enemies fearful.

The leading knight was wearing an exquisite helmet carved with a wolf's head. He was riding a horse and looking at the opposite side, thinking about something.

Beside the wolf-headed knight, the adjutant was speaking to him in a low voice: "Captain, that's the Eagles, the brats who have gained fame in recent years. The King of Dignity in Midland somehow called them coming."

"[-] gold coins, even the rich and powerful Kingdom of Midland has to think about it and choose the best mercenary group as possible."

The wolf-headed knight is 'Sirius' Black, the leader of the Sirius Constellation Mercenary Group. He lifted his mask to reveal a face with a delicate black beard, and said slowly:

"As expected of the King of Dignity, use the trick of public recruitment. In this way, the mercenary regiments will first determine their own ranks, saving the Midland military from the trouble of selection and elimination one by one. In this way, this Eagle The group should not be underestimated, after all, they also eliminated many opponents and finally stood in front of us."

The adjutant echoed: "The Red Lancers didn't come. I thought they were the biggest opponents of our Sirius Mercenary Group."

"They were hired by the Bardin royal family to suppress the separatist civil strife that broke out in the country. They have no time to take care of this side."

Sirius Black looked at the Eagle Group in the distance, and said unhurriedly:

"Ten thousand gold coins are enough for our mercenary group to eat and drink for several years, and they can also update all the equipment. This mission must be won, understand?"

"understand!"

On the other side of the square, Casca looked away from the Sirius Mercenary Corps, and rode to Griffith's side: "The Sirius Mercenary Corps just won the Barrinian League for the Kingdom of Lana." Are you completely tireless when you go to the Kingdom of Midland immediately in the battle for territory?"

Gorkas on the side interjected: "Oh my sister, this is [-] gold coins! Even the king of a small country would be moved, not to mention us mercenaries who are driven by money and war? Let me say that the red gun The cavalry regiment did not come, otherwise we would have to face two legendary mercenary regiments in the mercenary world!"

"Hey, Gorkas, are you scared?" Jie Du joked.

"Bastard! Who would be afraid! We are the Eagle Group, and the leader is Griffith! Sirius and Red Spear, we will be able to trample them under our feet in a few years!"

Although he has a bad personality, Gorkas has never doubted the strength of the leader Griffith.

Griffith, who was wearing an eagle-beaked helmet, was silent for a while, then looked to the side: "Gus, have you dealt with them?"

Gus, still wearing a simple helmet and carrying an epee, has recovered from his injuries, and he came back to his senses when he heard Griffith's inquiry: "No, I have been alone before, and I am not qualified to talk to this This level of mercenary group will expel all colleagues, occupy all the tasks assigned by the employer, and will not leave for the next battlefield until the current regional war is over and there is nothing to squeeze."

"Well, obviously they don't plan to share the [-] gold coins with us this time."

Griffith smiled inexplicably.

The Eagle Group was formed by Griffith. As a civilian, he has no financial resources to support the Eagle Group. He has been receiving missions to get paid to replenish supplies, update equipment, and distribute salaries to members of the mercenary group.This situation is the normal state of most mercenary groups, so once the mercenary group fails one or two missions, a series of vicious chain reactions will immediately occur until the mercenary group collapses.

In order to keep the mercenary group going, Griffith was even willing to sell himself overnight to Governor Heron of the Yoda Empire in exchange for the financial support provided by the governor.Otherwise, the Eagle Group would have disbanded half a year ago.

In order to achieve their ambitions, these are necessary sacrifices, Griffith said to himself.

"Is it really all right, Griffith?" Kasca looked at Griffith with some concern.

Competing with a famous mercenary group like the Sirius Constellation, even though she trusted Griffith very much, Casca still felt a little guilty.After all, no matter the number of people or the weapons and equipment, the difference is not small.

"Don't worry, Casca." Griffith comforted his beautiful adjutant: "Since I'm here, I'm sure to win this mission."

[-] gold coins are enough to make the Eagle Group a first-class mercenary group like the Sirius Constellation Mercenary Group in terms of hardware, and it can also greatly alleviate the difficulty of running out of funds.

At this time, a man with a moustache in court clothes, surrounded by a group of Mitland soldiers, walked to the center of the Sisto Fortress square, right between the mercenary regiments on both sides.

"Everyone, everybody!" The man with the mustache cleared his throat pretentiously and then clapped his hands, signaling the mercenaries on both sides to look at him.

Seeing White Eagle Griffith and Sirius Black cast their eyes on him, the man with the mustache continued:
"I am Baron Mario. Your Majesty the Dignified King has appointed me as the examiner for the recruitment of the mercenary group. I think everyone present has heard of my name."

"No, no, no, I haven't heard of it at all." Gus whispered, making Jiedu and Rickett beside him purse their lips and laugh.

Griffith glanced at Gus before he said, "My lord Baron, what are the criteria for judging this recruitment?"

"Oh, you are Griffith, the leader of the Eagles." Baron Mario twisted his mustache and said slowly: "Please wait a moment, the mercenary group that needs to be selected has not yet arrived, according to the news It's coming soon."

And the mercenary group?Both the Sirius Mercenary Group and the members of the Eagle Group looked at each other. Could it be that the Red Lancers really gave up on the mission of the Bardin royal family and came to grab food?This is not impossible, after all, it is [-] gold coins.

Just as everyone was whispering and their voices were getting louder, the gate of the fortress was suddenly slowly opened with a creaking sound.

All eyes were on the gate of the fortress.

It was Garda, the white dog general of the Kingdom of Midland, who was leading the horse into the fortress, and behind him was a team of knights in black robes, a total of twelve riders.

The white dog Garda walked not far from Baron Mario, got off his horse and said, "I've been waiting, Baron Mario."

"These people are..."

"That's right, they are the twelve knights of [Fire Sword Mercenary Corps]."

The voice of Garda the White Dog startled the Eagle Group.

Fire sword?Griffith and Gus glanced at each other, remembering the court wizard in black robe pretending to be a ghost.

Suddenly, deep in Griffith's heart, he was not so sure about this mission.
